The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 19, then returns to freezing around November 16, covering 125 dates in all.
Derived from the normal daily minimum. This is a different measure from the 50%-probability frost dates shown elsewhere on this page, which come from NOAA’s frost product.
The widest day
April 11 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 28°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Saint Albans's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Saint Albans's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 4,892 annual heating degree days against 1,038 for cooling. Its 42.9°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Saint Albans's frost-free season lasts about 191 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Saint Albans's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 42.9°F. The annual average is 54°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Saint Albans's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Saint Albans's primary station, so the winter figures are a thirty-year average and not a floor: a single hard season can run well below them. Treat each band as a descriptive range for Saint Albans, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Saint Albans's primary station: SAINT ALBANS (USC00467852). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The conservative exact name-and-state crosswalk finds no Census place match, so PlainClimate treats this as a station-mapped location and does not claim it is a municipality. No exact Gazetteer row for Saint Albans; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Saint Albans comes from its primary NOAA station record. No figure on this page is typed in by an editor - each value is rendered from NOAA 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals.
